    I’ve read reports that people can’t get more than 30fps on low settings on 4000 series cards. I’m definitely not one to expect sweet 120fps on ultra on launch day, but a 4000 card not even getting low settings? They failed. Hard.

      I fucking am. I didn’t pay $1700 for a graphics card to have potato graphics. I’m glad there’s been plenty of bad press on this, not that I would have bought it this close to launch anyway.

        No, I disagree with that. It’s always been perfectly normal to have ultra graphics a bit out of reach so that the game will look great on future graphics cards, and 120fps is a ridiculously high number that should never be expected even with top of the line graphics cards for a brand new release. (Assuming 2 or 4k)

        However, a 1 generation out of date graphics card should be able to easily play most things on High settings at a decent framerate (aiming for 60) on 4k settings, which Borderlands failed at horribly. Medium to low settings on a 4000 series card sounds like a gutpunch to me.

          It’s a bit misleading to say “4000 series” like that doesn’t cover 15 different products over a drastic range of intended performance levels

    Don’t touch Gearbox shit. They showed their true colours when they embezzled Colonial Marines.

    Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol

    I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.

          more info than you could ever want about Pitchford’s porn habits

          In short, there was a legal dispute between Pitchford and a former counsel for Gearbox. As part of a pattern of suit-countersuit, the former employee alleged that Pitchford had left a USB stick at a local restaurant which contained proprietary company info as well as underage pornography. Pitchford confirmed that all of the above, with the notable exception of the “underage” part. Given nothing came of it, and he was remarkably candid about what type of porn was actually on the USB, I’m inclined to believe him.

    My friend with a RX 7900 XT can barely run it.

    At 1080p.

    On Medium.

    Shove it up your ass, Gearbox.

    Take your own advice? What games do they have not on some other developer’s engine? Other than their initial expansions for Half-Life, which are basically mods for Half-Life, all the games I know they have done were built on various iterations of Unreal Engine.

      They did port Halo CE to PC with its own engine. They fucked up a lot of it in the process though.

      You gave them a hammer and their nail has not gone in straight?
      Clearly your fault. And the hammer’s.
